Word of advice. When grinding near cars make sure to remove the dust from the car asap as it rusts quickly and damages the paint job🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I came here to say much the same thing except that I would go a bit further and say always cover paint and especially the glass of any vehicles ion the area because the hot sparks will melt into the paint and glass. Can pretty much ruin your car’s windows.

Just a quick tip, cleanliness is godliness in welding. Metal comes with a coating that should be ground off before welding. This should help with making welds look more professional. Always grind both welding surfaces clean before welding. 👍🏻

Just a quick tip Matt, never run your finger over a hydraulic leak, even if the machine isn’t running, the residual pressure can cause an oil injection into your finger and is not good. Major surgery to clean out the oil from inside and worse case is amputation. 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺

Those sparks on glass will pit the hell out of the windows. If its bad enough, you will get rust spots in the glass too. A welding blanket is cheaper than ever replacing a rear view mirror.

Just for future reference, you may want to throw something down over paint/glass when you're grinding like that. Something like a welding blanket or something. Those sparks will 100% embed themselves in your paint and glass. Obviously it's your truck, so if you don't care then grind on. Just thought I'd mention it as sometimes people don't realize how much that will damage paint and glass.

7:‘22 Matt when welding Something that thick you have the right idea of weaving it but you really want to put a nice route pass down first which is just nice and hot and no weaving just lay it into the crack then once you have that you can weave Back-and-forth but you were going to much you want a waist smaller weave and you need to turn the wire speed down some

Matt, you’re not done welding. You forgot the side gusset plates that give it 85% of it’s strength. Right now you only have 15% of the strength you could have. Those dinky tack welds ain’t going to hold.

Matt! Don't ever touch high pressure hydraulic lines like those! Especially a compromised one. If you want to know why.. look up hydraulic injection wounds *graphic* and you won't do it again. 💀 worked around tons of equipment and have to say this often with new people. Edit: for the people saying "it's only this much PSI" , please understand this is just a general rule. Those lines are pushing 2000psi on some attachments which is enough to have a bad day. Just not touching hydraulic lines when pressurized is a good habit. 👍🏻
